    Best Chevy/Corvette Service dealer around Detroit?

    Paint on new Car

    Did you take any of the black substance off to use as a sample? If so, You should be able to take that sample to your local county health dept. and they can analize it. If it was black it sounds like something like a road way maintance product. What kind of constuction site was it you passed...
